Detailed explanation-1: -The coccyx (plural: coccyges) is the series of rudimentary vertebrae forming the caudal termination of the vertebral column and is positioned inferior to the apex of the sacrum. The coccyx is one leg of the tripod formed in conjunction with the ischial tuberosities for support in a seated position.
Detailed explanation-2: -It is a vestige of the caudal vertebrae found in the tails of most mammals. In the human body, the coccyx functions to anchor several muscles of the pelvic region and acts as one of the bones that bear the body’s weight while sitting.
Detailed explanation-3: -What is the tailbone/coccyx? Your coccyx is made up of three to five fused vertebrae (bones). It lies beneath the sacrum, a bone structure at the base of your spine. Several tendons, muscles and ligaments connect to it.
